not so is ideologically coherent it was willing to forfeit elections. i think that rusher was passed that phase of his political development or perspective by then. so he recognized that if reagan wasn't going to head it it was probably not going to get far but he stuck with that. the full details are in the book on chapter 13. but she came to see in the late 70's that it really was possible for a guy like reagan to win the republican nomination, and once he did come ever since reagan won the republican nomination 1980 and had a totally successful presidency, rusher remained to the end of his day an absolute republican party loyalist. right or wrong that is another interesting lesson a man who at one time had been a third party advocate comes back to a more conventional political view although he was also a strong conservative. in closing i just want to say two words about his significance as a symbol among conservatives. he was a very elegant man to the if he wasn't particularly tall, he wasn't athletic, things buckley was, but he was wonderfully artic

we've seen how fractious it can be just after this unfortunate election. there was a wide agreement. libertarians, purists, pragmatists and bill rusher really knew what he was doing. one of his great achievements was to give movement conservatives from, i would say, the early 1960s right up until the 1990s by which time he had semi-retired more confidence than i think they otherwise would have had, that there really was a conservative movement and that it really was moving. if imperfectly. we've seen in recent years a lot of doubts about whether the conservative movement still exists anymore. some people even doubt whether it deserves to exist anymore, whether it's destroyed itself. where there have been people all along who have said things like that. one of the thing rusher stood for most prominently and enduringly was the belief that we conservatives all had to pull together and all had to be together and keep being together. you know, the most obvious cliche that comes to mind, and he would have put it more articulately and more memorably is to not let

in fact, there were no elections of substance. ultimate authority resided with the king and parliament. when colonists complained that the political leaders were out of touch, it was not a rhetorical flourish. no taxation without representation would ultimately become the rallying crime that provoked a war against the most formidable military power on earth. given our current sorry economic circumstances, we could also remember that the executions of our forefathers were made on the half of a desire to forge a nation out of a group of colonies that even then comprised quite disparate interests. planters, farmers, merchants, slaves, indentured servants and persecuted minorities of all stripes. even after the nation was forged, tough times endured well into the succeeding century but the situation i'm in a common purpose to endure and to succeed. to those who fought, to forge a system of government, nothing was more important than the maintenance of that new system. and here i'm going to close by segueing to something that might giv
